The Better Deal Horsemanship Study Program 2018

I am proud to offer these classes and workshops for 2018, helping folks to navigate their journey with their horses by honoring the proven, humane methods of master horsemen like Tom and Bill Dorrance and Ray Hunt.

Horsemanship is building skills that foster the horse/human partnership. The Better Deal Horsemanship program facilitates a safer, happier & healthier relationship between horses and their people. If you have been searching for a real understanding of the horse, this program will give you that.

The program teaches a humane standard for the care, keeping, and training of the horse that is guided by understanding how the horse communicates in nature. By understanding the horse, you will learn to meet him where he is at, and let go of unrealistic expectations. The classes allow you to face your fears and anxiety around difficult situations with your horse. In a controlled, supportive environment, and through understanding, you will cultivate courage, peace, creativity, and joy in the moments you spend with your equine partner.

The program is designed to reward your investment of time, work, and money by maintaining consistent opportunities to grow your knowledge and improve your skills. I offer no quick fixes, and this work demands time and consistency. Over time the program price drops to reward your ability to consistently maintain your horses physical, mental, and emotional well being. After completing 2 yrs. of study you will have a much more rewarding relationship with your horse and a deeper understanding of what he needs in order to give you what you want.

I look forward to seeing you in 2018!
